1.) Write a Love Letter to yourself. Before you shut down your email, write yourself a note of encouragement. When traveling send yourself a postcard to your home address with a reminder of just how great you are.
2.) Personalize your screensaver. Focus on what you are attempting to achieve right now. Use a phrase or picture that depicts the message of encouragement you wish to receive.For example: "I take great care of myself because I deserve to be happy and healthy."
3.) Keep a childhood photo nearby. This is a reminder of who you really are at heart.
4.) Hang out with supporters. Surround yourself with people who cheer you on and make you feel good.
5.) Turn on your windshield wipers. You cannot stop the rain that is life but you can use your windshield wipers to clear away the frustrations, self-doubts and worries that cloud your days. Talk to someone, get a massage, exercise, write in a journal, meditate.
6.) Pull out your feel good file. Collect letters or cards that you've received through the years. Save momentos of achievement that highlight your gifts and talents.
7.) Develop and give your gifts. What is that makes you shine and what would you do to increase your capacity to give? What is something simple or small or what is that first step that you can take to celebrate your gifts and how can you share these gifts with others?
8.) Create an Arsenal of Affirmations: The best defense is a good offense. Fight doubts with the truth. Write down a few affirmations that you can recite when self-doubt finds itself on your door step. "I am an amazing person." "My job is not to be perfect but to be the best I can be right now."
